I have bern taking viibryd for a week and been ok started taking 20mg?

And not sure if I am having a panic attack , side effect, or allergic reaction. Freaking out my throat feels weird but not sure if its real or just afraid of an anaphalatic reaction. Anybody else ever have this or experience this? Any info would be helpful.

Hi polprin, I would certainly contact your Dr or go to the ER. I am a huge Viibryd fan, but you may be experiencing an allergic reaction which could be serious. Don't delay. Keep us posted please! Frenchie

I am on week 4! weeks 1-3. I had 1 major panic attack (middle of the night, along with throat and flu like symptoms) thought this wasn't for me. called doctor and spoke about my symptoms. she related it was very common. she said to get out, walk- move- exercise (my gist was "white knuckle it) for another week. week 1-2.5 sucked. after week 2.5... the awful and panicky feeling is gone. but still feel a bit anxious, yet at the sametime feel as if I should give this a bit more time because the lexapro wasn't doing crap for some time now. go with ur gut... my experience so far... : keep going

I also take viibryd and had the same issue. I started having severe panick attacks and my throat got worse and worse. I told my doctor and she said this is a rare side effect of viibryd. She told me to break the 40mg pill in half and take half in the morning and half at night. That has helped a lot. You should tell your doctor whats going on and they might suggest the same thing.
